Port installed today!

Writer's picture: Russ NewtonRuss Newton

A port to infuse medicine into my body was installed today, it will make the application much better as I will run out of veins sooner or later that will work as this process is going to go on for the rest of my life. (14 days on, Ten days off, 14 days on Ten off and repeat).

Lmao! I glad it wasn't painful because it looks it.

Joey, Wasn't that bad, was on "wakeful sedation" which means I was pumped full of anti-anxiety meds and light "forgetful" sedation. And while it was quite painful laying down to sleep, by 3am I had zero pain and that has continued since then. The toughest part was not being able to take a shower for 48 hours, my poor nurses!
